Title
North Central Lidar 2019 QL2; DEM - County Mosaics [Pennsylvania] {2019}
Description
County Mosaics - These are Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data for Pennsylvania as part of the required deliverables for the Pennsylvania North Central Lidar QL1 project. Class 2 (ground) LiDAR points in conjunction with the hydro breaklines were used to create a 1.25 foot hydro-flattened Raster DEM. Geographic Extent: 4 counties in Pennsylvania, covering approximately 85 total square miles. Dataset Description: The Pennsylvania North Central Lidar QL1 project called for the planning, acquisition, processing, and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.35 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base LiDAR Specification, Version 1.3. The data were developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD 1983 StatePlane Pennsylvania North FIPS 3701 Feet, Foot US and vertical datum of NAVD88 GEOID12b, Foot US. LiDAR data were delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files formatted to 95 individual 5,000 ft x 5,000 ft tiles; and as 31 10,000 ft x 10,000 ft tiled intensity imagery, and as tiled bare earth DEMs; Continuous breaklines were produced in Esri file geodatabase format. Ground Conditions: LiDAR was collected in spring 2019, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications and meet ASPRS vertical accuracy guidelines, Quantum Spatial, Inc. utilized a total of 326 ground control points that were used to calibrate the LiDAR to known ground locations established throughout the project area. An additional 546 independent accuracy checkpoints, 322 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (322 NVA points), 224 in Tall Weeds categories (224 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data.
